Mary Catherine Clancy (born 13 January 1948 in Halifax, Nova Scotia) was a member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1988 to 1997. By career, she was a lawyer.
Clancy won the Halifax electoral district for the Liberal party in the 1988[1] and 1993 federal elections.[2][3] After serving in the 34th and 35th Canadian Parliaments, Clancy was defeated in the 1997 federal election by New Democratic Party leader Alexa McDonough.[4]
Subsequently in 1997, she was appointed Canadian Consul General to Boston.[5][6]
From 2002 to 2003, Clancy was president of Burlington College in Burlington, Vermont. Her resignation after less than a year was attributed to her not having raised sufficient money for the college.[7]
The 1997 federal election competition between Clancy and McDonough is the subject of the 1999 National Film Board documentary Why Women Run.[8]
